Absurd deduction game

The setting sun casts golden light on this mountain village between two mountains.

Yu Xing's painter character also looks like a fashion-conscious person. His white clothes are furry, his round collar is wide open, his sleeves almost cover his fingers, his lower body is in tight jeans and white sneakers, and he carries an easel and other tools behind his back. He is very delicate. .

Although it is not a very serious dress, it is the kind that some young girls like most nowadays. At this time, the sun is hitting his body, and Yu Xing only feels warm, as if he is a ball of cotton sheep.

It’s so warm~

The movement between him and the girl naturally attracted the attention of the remaining three people. The three people cast their eyes over, and their eyes collided in mid-air. They read the same message to each other - taking the opportunity to exchange information and let the characters know each other.

The girl trotted over.

Yu Xing followed and walked over. He saw that the curly-haired woman and a middle-aged man in his thirties were together. The girl could also see it, so the girl asked curiously: What happened to those two people just now? Why not Let you in?

Hmph, maybe there is something wrong with my brain. I have to say that I am a Feng Shui master, but there is something wrong with the Feng Shui here. They didn't go in by themselves. The curly-haired woman sneered, but after expressing her dissatisfaction with the two people, she still politely said The girl and Yu Xing nodded, Hello, let me introduce you. I am Xiao Xuechen. I am here for a trip. This is my colleague.

The man in his thirties smiled: My name is Wei Fan, and I am an engineer. You can just call me Wei Gong.

They are really a team, which means that this is not the first time these two people have played this kind of game. The two men who went in first looked similar, they were probably brothers and they were also in a team... Yu Xing muttered to himself.

There was a hint of worry on the girl's round face. She was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and her acting skills were quite natural: My name is Ju Lan, and I'm here to see someone. Two days ago, my boyfriend told his classmates that they would come to Guanjiacun to play. , and later, we lost contact. I didn’t dare to tell his parents, after all, we were in puppy love... Oh, by the way, this handsome guy and I met on the road, no, we didn’t come together...

Hearing this, Xiao Xuechen, Wei Fan and the gray-blue-haired young man all looked at Yu Xing. The young man was playing with a palm-sized paper doll that he didn't know where it came from. He didn't know whether he wore contact lenses or was born with it. It turned out to be a beautiful and clear blue color. The corners of his lips curved: Hello, who are you?

My name is San, I am a painter. I was invited by fans to come here to collect pictures. Yu Xing responded with a slightly awkward smile. His character said that he was indifferent, but he didn't like it. Indifference would hinder his performance. He just wanted to Pick out other people in the indifference.

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man said Oh? with great interest.

I was also invited by a fan, what a coincidence. The young man was alone, and his flashy jacket and ripped pants did not conflict with his temperament. Instead, they matched well together, giving people a sense of visual escape.

His tone was also lazy. Others were arguing just now, and he was watching the fun with his pockets nearby.

But now, he stretched out his voice, turned his eyes around, and seemed to be in a good mood: Guess, what do I do?

How can you guess this? Xiao Xuechen flipped up her hair. She was actually very young, in her early twenties, but she dressed more maturely, and her voice sounded like a royal sister, with her own aura, Is she a star?

No~ The young man stretched out his index finger and shook it, looking expectantly at Yu Xing.

The fingers are slender and white, but there are obvious calluses on the fingertips and sides of the knuckles. The rhythm of speaking is maintained at a rhythm that attracts attention but is not offensive, which shows that you have strong control over the conversation. Yu Xing was very happy. He answered the young man cooperatively and took half a step back, as if he was not confident, Your job is related to this. Combined with your expression control, I guess, I guess you are a magician.

Amazing! The young man opened his eyes in surprise, As expected of a painter, his observation of people is terrible...

After praising Yu Xing until he almost blushed, the young man said to the others: Carlos, the magician.

Nice to meet you. Xiao Xuechen and Wei Fan nodded politely to him, and at the same time took a second look at Yu Xing, who showed off his reasoning ability.

He seems to be a person who is not very good at getting along with others, a bit shy, but has pretty good reasoning skills...

Yu Xing was well aware of their appraisals, and remained calm on the surface, thinking secretly in his heart: magicians, painters, engineers, women with uncertain careers, students, and two guys who claimed to be Feng Shui masters... this group of people The profession is so complicated, isn’t it—he’s the only one who’s new, right?

Thinking about this, he did not forget his mission and said: Well, since we all know each other, let's go into the village, right?

It was getting late, and what he had to do now was to find Zhou Yongsheng, who invited him, and find a villager's house to stay for one night under his arrangement.

As for the others, although they are deducers and half companions, they do not necessarily have to act together until the true intention of coming is confirmed.

Several people walked towards the village one after another. As they got closer, they could see a wooden sign at the entrance of the village.

The wooden sign has aged, and the fonts on it are blurry, but two words can be vaguely discerned: Coffin Village.

Coffin Village? Isn't it Guanjia Village? Ju Lan's confused voice rang out in the silence. Before anyone else could say anything, they heard a cough coming from the village.

Cough cough cough...

A large locust tree was planted at the entrance of the village. A rickety figure walked out of the shadow of the locust tree. Yu Xing raised his eyes and saw that it was an old man.

The old man's clothes were shabby and he was hunched over. His sparse white hair and wrinkles on his face showed that he was old.

Young man, ahem...what are you doing in our village? The hoarse voice was grainy and heavy, with more air coming out than in. Yu Xing felt as if he was going to drive away in the next second.

Ju Lan quickly stepped forward and said, Grandpa, I'm here to find someone!

Looking for someone? After hearing this, the old man walked over step by step on crutches, and tremblingly, he came up to Ju Lan and looked at her, but his eyes didn't look like he was looking at her normally, but as if he was looking at something else. …

Anyway, Ju Lan got goosebumps instantly.

Old man, we all have our own things to do. We want to enter the village. Look - can you tell us where the village chief is? Xiao Xuechen stepped forward and pulled Ju Lan back, widening the distance between him and the old man, politely There is caution in it.

Looking for - looking for the village chief? The old man's unique voice was like scraping glass. It sounded uncomfortable, as if he was trying to squeeze the anger out of his throat, Village Chief...Village Chief...

He villaged for a long time, and when several people thought he couldn't remember, he said quietly: The village chief is in the biggest house in the village...

Following the old man's words, a gust of wind blew for no apparent reason. Yu Xing's collar opened wide and she shivered coldly.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but the sun completely set into the mountains at this moment. The warm sunset disappeared, leaving only the darkened sky, and the atmosphere became depressing in vain.

Okay, thank you, we'd better go look for it ourselves. Sensing that something was wrong with the old man, Wei Fan stood up and winked at Xiao Xuechen. Xiao Xuechen understood and said as if he was familiar with them: Let's go to the village first to find the village. Chief, let the village chief arrange a place for us.

Okay~ We're all exhausted. Carlos spoke skillfully and put a hand on Yu Xing's shoulder, Come on, let's go in!

Yu Xing nodded obediently and entered the village with the others.

At present, it seems that Xiao Xuechen will protect Ju Lan, who is also a girl, and Wei Fan and Carlos will also take care of others, which is good.

This was his first time playing an investigator-type deduction game. He didn't know what kind of interests the players had in this kind of deduction game, so he could just follow along for the time being.

The scenery in the village is somewhat desolate. The houses are old-fashioned bungalows with tile roofs. The white walls have been exposed to wind and rain and have turned black and moldy. The peeling wall ash is accumulated on the ground, and even large pieces of wall shell have fallen off.

The ground was full of potholes and overgrown weeds, and it seemed like no one had cleaned it.

Walking along the path into the village, I didn't see a single villager along the way.

It's so quiet.

Yu Xing seemed to feel something, and looked back from a distance, only to see that the old man's figure had disappeared by the locust tree at the entrance of the village, and he didn't know where he went.

Why is there no one here? Ju Lan muttered to herself, looking a little uneasy.

I don't know, let's find the village chief first. Wei Fan comforted Ju Lan, and then remembered something, Hey, Carlos, San, do you know any villagers? Didn't you say that the fans invited you here? Can the fans contact me?

Hey, you think I don't want to do it, Mr. Wei. Carlos scratched his gray-blue hair, There's no signal. I haven't seen this fan before. It seems he doesn't like me much. He didn't even come to greet me. .”

Yu Xing thought about it and asked unconsciously: Is your fan called Zhou Yongsheng?

Oh! Isn't it? Are we the same fan? Carlos' reaction confirmed Yu Xing's guess. They looked at each other, and Ju Lan exclaimed:

Zhou Yongsheng!?

What's wrong? Realizing that the first key point was coming, Yu Xing looked towards her.

Zhou Yongsheng is my boyfriend's classmate. It was that classmate who suggested the last time they came to Guanjiacun. I... Ju Lan's face turned pale, Isn't he a liar?

The five people stopped in the middle of the road and looked at each other. Carlos narrowed his eyes and repeated with interest: ...liar?

It seems that you have some issues to deal with. Xiao Xuechen paid attention to them. She guessed that the initial tasks of the seven deducers should be divided into three groups. She and Wei Fan came to see the village chief. These three people were Find a villager named Zhou Yongsheng, and there are two men, who probably have other ideas.

She pointed to a dilapidated house that looked a little grand and asked Wei Fan: Wei Gong, is that the village chief's house?

Maybe, let's knock on the door. Wei Fan nodded, and when he walked towards the room, he found that everyone else was following him.

You? Xiao Xuechen asked curiously.

Anyway, Zhou Yongsheng didn't show up. I wanted to ask the village chief where he lives. Yu Xing's expression didn't change. Ju Lan and Carlos also meant the same.

Nonsense, if there was a village chief, they wouldn't have to look for targets one by one. How convenient would it be to just ask!

Soon, Wei Fan knocked on the door.

The door opened, and a middle-aged man with a square face came out. When the middle-aged man saw them, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled enthusiastically: How many of them are from the city?

Yes, are you the village chief of Guanjia Village? Xiao Xuechen showed a decent and friendly smile, and the sense of distance in her body was suddenly diluted.

Yes, yes, are you here for tourism like the two just now? The middle-aged village chief was much more cheerful than expected. He hurriedly turned sideways and said, Come on, come on, come on, tell me, the two of you just now are also here. We’re inside, hahaha, it’s been a long time since we’ve had so many guests, so you might as well have dinner at my house.”

Yes, I'm really sorry for not saying hello in advance. Then it would be a problem for the village chief. Xiao Xuechen had no choice but to thank the village chief on behalf of everyone, and the five of them entered the village chief's house together.

The village chief's house is not small. There is a small courtyard as soon as you enter. The aroma of food comes from the kitchen on the left. The two men Yu Xing saw at the entrance of the village were sitting at the big table in the courtyard waiting to eat. They saw a group of people. The people came in and the two nodded to them.

The dispute is caused by the system, and they don’t want to really break away from the group!

Come on, come on, sit down. Just put the things you are carrying next to you. I'll say hello to my mother-in-law and ask her to cook more. Hahahaha... The house hasn't been so lively for a long time! The village chief asked them to sit down. Then he turned to the kitchen.

There were seven people sitting in the courtyard, but there was always an eerie atmosphere.
